iMPRovEMENr IN Specification forming part-of Letters Patent-No. 40,788,dated December l, 1G63.

'To allwhom it may concern):

Be it known that I, HERMA-N G. Woon', of

.the city of Bualo, countyof Erie, and Statev of New York, have inventeda certain new and Improved Cooking-Stove; and I do hereby declare thatthe following is a full, clear, and

exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, and theletters of reference marked thereon, in which- Figure Iis alongitudinal section, and Fig.

IIaplan. l"

- The nature of my invention relates to the arrangement of the fire potor chamber within an air-chamber, and the 'combination there'- witho"f`an oven ii'such manner that the heat'.v from the fire will bereceivedin the air-chamber and conducted thence over or under and around(or both) the oven.

Letters of likename and kind refer to like parts in each of the figures.

A represents the outsidev shell or easing Vof the stove.

B represents the -top plate, and C the bottom It is supported orcasingA, leaving a space, E,be tween it and the casing, which forms theair-chamber.

E represents the oven, which is formed by the top and bottom plates, ff, and end A nue-space, G, is left below and behind the oven',and afine-space, G', above the oven.

These spaces communicate with'the air-chamber E,'and the heat and'sfnokefromthere passes through them to the smoke-'pipe H, as shown by thearrows. f 'f- H represents' a damper placed across the upper flue, G',in front of the'snioke-pipe, by

Y 'means of which the direction of the currents of heated air and smokemay be changed sol it is .desired to use the same forcooking on top ofthe stove.v

bottoni plate ofthe stove, the ash'pan and draftdamper oi" regulator.

LV represent the holes in the top plate of the stoveyto receive thefurniture and utensils. M represent the-ovendoors.

The advantages which I claim for my im'- provement are as follows :vFirst, the placing l of the tire-pot within the air-chamber prevents -agreat portion of the loss of heat from'radia` tion, 'and consequentlythe. economy of the tove ismuch increased; second, the ire-pot is freeto expand or contract with the state of the fire without straining orinjuring the stove,

thus adding much to its durability.

What I claim as my'invention, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, isfThe fire-'pot D, suspended or supported in an airfchambe'r, E, whichsurrounds the repot yon all sides,except underneath it, in com -vbination with an oven having fine-'spaces G G', leading fromtheair-chamberand surrounding the oven; arranged substantially in the fmanner set forth. l
